Five years after their breakup, a prominent lawyer is desperately seeking reconciliation.

At the entrance to a village in Haicheng, a Cullinan is parked incongruously on the side of the road.

People coming in and out stopped to look.

Although she knew they couldn't see inside the car, Yu Qing in the back seat still disgustedly raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose.

It felt as if the stench of sweat and shabby clothes outside would seep into the car.

The driver returned quickly, and Yu Qing pinched her nose and made him throw off his coat before allowing him to get into the car.

"Madam, I went to this address, but the house is empty."

"Empty? When did it become empty?"

"I heard from people around here that she moved away more than a month ago, and in a very hurry. A neighbor who was close to this woman said that someone anonymously donated a sum of money to save her son's life, on the condition that he leave Haicheng immediately."

A faint smile spread across Yu Qing's lips as she glanced indifferently out the window, her disdain barely concealed.

She couldn't help but think back to five years ago.

The way that woman looked at me when she heard that I would not only hire the best lawyers for her for free, but also promise to help her get a huge sum of compensation.

It's as if they are her second parents.

They disregard the conditions they set and spare no effort to destroy another person's life.

That's why she disliked these small, insignificant families.

As long as you have money, you don't care about any bottom lines or rules.

As it turned out, the woman did not disappoint him.

Women truly know best how to humiliate other women.

The photos of beatings and insults delivered to her stirred a sliver of pity in her usually cold heart.

Fortunately, Jiang Wan couldn't hold out any longer and obediently agreed to her terms.

But this Jiang Wan is really ungrateful; she actually dared to come back.

The day after she saw Jiang Wan again, she asked someone to go to Anzhou to find the woman, only to be told that she had already moved to Haicheng.

I just didn't expect that I was a step too late; she had already moved away.

"Tell the private investigator to keep investigating. Find out where they've moved to this time."

The driver nodded hurriedly and asked cautiously, "Madam, where are we taking you now?"

Yu Qing opened her phone; five minutes earlier, Fang Tian had sent her a text message.

"Take me home first to change my clothes, and then we'll go to the resort's clubhouse."

She picked up her collar with disdain, as if it had been contaminated with some dirty air from outside.

The driver responded, started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove away quickly.

In a private room on the first floor of the Lu Family Club.

Jiang Wan slowly sipped her coffee, waiting for Fang Tian.

I don't know what she wanted, but half an hour ago she suddenly asked me to meet her here.

Her attitude was still very mysterious, and she repeatedly told herself not to tell Lu Jingshi.

She searched for the place Fang Tian mentioned on the map. It wasn't some remote area she had imagined, but a very luxurious private club in a wealthy resort area.

Jiang Wan figured that even if Fang Tian wanted to do something, she wouldn't choose to do it here, so she felt relieved and went to the appointment.

Footsteps approached from behind.

A sophisticated and elegant perfume scent wafted through the air.

Jiang Wan immediately stiffened; this wasn't the perfume Fang Tian usually used.

She had smelled this scent on someone just two days ago.

That is—

"It's been a long time, Miss Jiang."

Yu Qing slowly sat down on the sofa opposite her.

The white, modern Chinese-style dress shimmered and sparkled with every movement, clearly indicating its high value.

"It seems Fang Tian arranged this meeting for you." Jiang Wan looked at her calmly.

"That's right, we're old acquaintances. It's been five years since we last saw each other, and I'd like to have a chat. Is that alright?"

Jiang Wan sneered, "I don't think we're the kind of people who can sit down and have a casual chat over tea. Obviously, you don't think so either, which is why you pushed Fang Tian out, isn't it?"

A hint of displeasure and anger flashed across Yu Qing's face.

"You've become even more eloquent in the past few years. It seems the feng shui abroad has taken good care of you."

Jiang Wan turned her gaze coldly to the window, not wanting to waste time arguing with her about these meaningless things.

A waitress dressed in a classic cheongsam knocked on the door and came in, bringing several plates of pastries before looking at Yu Qing.

"Madam, the usual, Jamaican Blue Mountain?"

Yu Qing frowned and shook her head: "The beans this year aren't very good; they always have a musty, expired smell. Let's have some tea."

The waiter noted it down and went out to prepare.

Jiang Wan then realized that this club actually belonged to the Lu family.

I wonder what Yu Qing meant by inviting me to meet here?

"As you can see, in five years, Lu's business has grown even bigger, and the gap between you and A-Shi has widened even further. Five years ago, I could force you to leave; five years later, it's even easier."

She stared intently at Jiang Wan, her tone suggesting she felt sorry for her.

Why did you break your promise and return to China without permission?

"This is my home, where my family and friends are. Why can't I come back? Besides, where I go has nothing to do with anyone, including you and the Lu family."

Yu Qing snorted.

"Miss Jiang, it's not good for young people to break their promises. Five years ago you chose to take my money and leave. You can't just come back and keep bothering Ah Shi now that you're broke. I know that integrity is paramount in your line of work."

"Have you thought about the consequences if people find out you're so unruly?"

Jiang Wan wondered if Yu Qing had become stupid from having too easy a life over the past five years.

She's nothing like the powerful woman who used to be able to crush herself with just a few phone calls while sitting in her office.

"Do you dare to tell? Do you dare to tell Lu Jingshi all this? I'd love for you to make it all public, so Lu Jingshi will know that not only do I not owe him anything, but he also has my things inside him."

Jiang Wan's lips curled slightly, revealing a wicked smile completely different from her usual expression.

Do you think Lu Jingshi might go crazy?

"You should be glad that I have no intention of getting back together with Lu Jingshi. Meeting again was an accident, and the current situation is even more of a coincidence."

Yu Qing clearly didn't believe it.

"A long-awaited reunion? A broken mirror mended? Miss Jiang, don't let those novels and short dramas ruin your brain."

Jiang Wan pinched her brow helplessly. It was a waste of breath to say another word to such an arrogant person.

She simply changed to a version she could accept.

"Fine, to be honest, it's because I'm broke. Treatment is expensive abroad, and it costs money even in China."

"I only came back to try my luck, but I didn't expect Lu Jingshi to be so easy to fool. How could I have failed at the last minute?"

Yu Qing raised her eyebrows, feeling waves of nausea, as if a dead fly was stuck in her throat.

"How much money do you want?"

Jiang Wan counted on her fingers.

"I'll pay your son 2000 million in breach of contract fees, plus a one-time buyout of 500 million for future living expenses, totaling 2500 million. Once you pay, I'll disappear completely and never come back."

"how?"

Yu Qing could no longer maintain her forced composure and aloofness.

Her eyes flashed with a fierce hatred, like sharp blades: "You bitch, do you know what happened to the last person who threatened me?"

Jiang Wan ignored her, picked up her bag, and stood up.

"Waiting for your message."

He then turned and left, followed by Yu Qing's hysterical, out-of-control screams.

Jiang Wan kept walking, her eyes as cold as frost, and she curled her lip in disdain.

That's all there is to it.

She was no longer Jiang Wan, who was bullied by everyone five years ago. Yu Qing thought she could control her with a few harsh words.

dream!
